September 2025: What Everyone Was Talking About on CG Dhamaka

September was a busy month for India’s headlines. From a high‑stakes cricket showdown to a massive police raid, and two game‑changing policy shifts, there was a lot to keep up with. Below we break down the biggest stories you shouldn’t miss.

ICC Women’s ODI World Cup kicks off in India and Sri Lanka

The ICC Women’s ODI World Cup 2025 opened on September 30, with matches spread across India and Sri Lanka. Eight teams gathered for a packed schedule, and the tournament’s marquee clash featured the long‑awaited India vs Pakistan face‑off. Fans packed stadiums in Guwahati, and the early games set the tone for a competitive tournament that promises plenty of drama on the field.

Police bust a fake lottery racket in Madhupur

In a dramatic raid on a passenger bus, Madhupur police uncovered nine bags of counterfeit lottery tickets worth lakhs of rupees. The operation also seized high‑end printing equipment and led to the arrest of two suspects from Sirsiya village. An FIR was filed against multiple gang members, exposing a cross‑border network that fed illegal tickets into West Bengal. Authorities say the bust will hit the illegal lottery trade hard and protect vulnerable locals from scams.

Beyond the headlines, two policy moves reshaped daily life for drivers and car buyers. The government declared High‑Security Registration Plates (HSRP) mandatory nationwide, beginning the phase‑out of old plates to curb cloning and improve vehicle tracking. Bihar ramped up enforcement, while Maharashtra extended its deadline to November 2025. In Delhi, the new ANPR‑based fuel ban for end‑of‑life vehicles (ELVs) took effect, seizing 80 vehicles on day one and pushing a larger scrapping network into action.

On the consumer front, GST 2.0 delivered a major tax cut for small cars, lowering the rate to 18%. The change triggered price drops ranging from ₹40,000 to nearly ₹9 lakh on popular models like the Hyundai Creta, Tata Nexon, and Maruti Swift. EVs benefited too, staying at a 5% rate. Larger vehicles moved to a flat 40% tax without additional cess, a move aimed at boosting demand ahead of the festive season.

All these developments share a common thread: they affect how Indians move, spend, and enjoy leisure. Whether you’re cheering on the women’s cricket team, checking your car’s registration, or hunting for a new vehicle deal, September’s news gave you plenty to talk about.
